Guo Quanyou froze mid-turn, having assumed that the matter was settled after he had offered Chen Wei a way out. To his surprise, Chen was the one who was unrelenting and refused to give him any face.
The foot that had just touched down retraced its steps as Guo faced Chen Wei once more, his eyes narrowing into slits revealing a wicked glint. With a feigned smile that did not reach his eyes, he raised his head and asked, "So, according to you, how should we end this?"
"Simple, apologize," Chen Wei said with a faint smile, his demeanor unshaken by the imposing air that Guo Quanyou exuded.
Guo Quanyou's intimidation might work on others, but thinking it would work on him was pure fantasy.
"I can apologize to you, but you might not be able to handle the consequences of my apology!" Guo Quanyou hoped Chen Wei understood this point.
"How will we know if we don't try?" Chen Wei replied, undeterred by Guo Quanyou's threat, standing his ground.
